Set on 18 wooded acres outside Narrowsburg, Bear Run is a sculptural retreat from the creative team behind Major Jacks and Wishbone. Its angular form and natural palette give the home a grounded presence in the landscape, bridging artful design with untamed surroundings.

The home’s design motif continues in the patterned cutouts of the catwalk-style hallway, which connects the upper-level spaces. A bedroom occupies one end of the hallway, while a half bathroom with locally hand-glazed custom tiles and sconces sits at the opposite end.
